Aluminum alloy A356 matrix syntactic foams filled with SiC hollow particles (SiCHP) are studied in the present work. Two compositions of syntactic foams are studied for quasi-static and high strain rate compression. In addition, dynamic mechanical analysis is conducted to study the temperature dependent energy dissipation and damping capabilities of these materials. The thermal characterization...

Al-Si-based casting alloys have a great potential in various industrial applications. Common strengthening strategies on these alloys are accompanied inevitably by sacrifice of ductility, known as strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. Here, we report a simple route by combining rapid solidification (RS) with a post-solidification heat treatment (PHT), i.e. a RS + PHT route, to break through thi...

In this investigation ‚the fracture toughness of A356 containing15%SiC composite was studied. Al/SiC composites have been considered because of their mechanical and erosion properties .Low fracture toughness in Al/SiC as compared with Aluminium alloys is one of its disadvantage. In this study at first A356 alloy was melted in a smelting electrical furnace then poured into the mould. A356-15% Si...

The casting process and cooling rate determine the morphology of authentic silicon particles produced in aluminum alloys. slow alloy through Lost Foam Casting (LFC) method a result low mechanical properties. purpose this study was effect added Strontium (Sr) modifier to A356 on microstructure properties LFC method. Aluminum alloys are melted using crucible poured at temperature 730 oC surface p...

A comprehensive methodology that takes into account alloy solidification, shrinkage-driven interdendritic fluid flow, hydrogen precipitation, and porosity evolution has been developed for the prediction of microporosity fraction in aluminum A356 alloy castings. The mathematical models presented are implemented in a computational framework consistent with those of commercial casting codes, allow...
